Thank you for demystifying the definition of a book coach. Yours is the best explanation I’ve seen, and I look forward to sharing it with writer friends.

Thanks so much for this post, Lisa. I learned a lot!

When I started writing novels, I hired freelance editors for the fulls (after I polished them as much as possible) and was lucky to be invited to a weekly mentored critique group…but I had no idea how many resources were available. This is going to be such a huge help for people looking for help taking their writing to the next level.

Thank you so much for covering this! We are asked about this a lot, and you’ve done a great breakdown and even better, are helping writers understand what they really need based and who does what, and they’ll know who to look for to move further down the publication path.

In reply to BECCA PUGLISI. There's a lot of overlap and confusion, isn't there? Thanks for the opportunity to break it down for writers.

Lisa, THANK YOU for this post. There are so many titles out there that are super similar—book coach, editor, book consultant, story coach—and I know a lot of writers are confused about the differences. This is a great breakdown that I can point people to when they come looking for help.
